Autoregressive transformers exhibit measurable cognitive fatigue during extended generation, quantified by the Fatigue Index that predicts degradation (AUROC 0.95) and repetition (rho 0.94).
Regenerating model responses on de-identified production conversation prefixes yields pre-deployment misbehavior rate forecasts that track realized production rates within 2-5x and outperform adversarial-prompt baselines.
Fixed counterfactual explanation datasets train LMs such that generated explanations track the model's evolving behavior rather than the fixed targets, due to persistent correlation during training.
Reinforcement learning on beneficial traits in realistic domains yields broad improvements on over 80% of out-of-distribution alignment benchmarks and greater resistance to adversarial steering.
LLMs need metacognition to align expressed uncertainty with their actual knowledge boundaries, moving beyond knowledge expansion to reduce confident errors.
Fine-tuning LLMs on narrow misaligned data produces either coherent-persona models where harmful outputs match self-reported misalignment or inverted-persona models where harmful outputs occur alongside claims of alignment.
The paper introduces the Proxy Compression Hypothesis as a unifying framework explaining reward hacking in RLHF as an emergent result of compressing high-dimensional human objectives into proxy reward signals under optimization pressure.
Proxy RL produces a staged proxy-internalization capability that emerges before and predicts reward hacking in coding environments.
